(Translated by Google) The Mind Clinic was essential and crucial to help me control my anxiety and overcome moments when it put my life upside down. The support given by all its professionals is spectacular and a great help during the whole process (and after it too). There is complete respect and understanding for patients' needs and experiences, and complete support and trust in our recovery. I cannot fail to mention the added value that is the option of online consultations. Not only a breath of fresh air for all patients during the darkest period of the pandemic and its confinement, but also something of great value for those who live outside Portugal but want (or prefer) to be accompanied in their mother tongue. Speaking as someone who has had therapy in a language other than his own for years, I really feel that the follow-up in Portuguese by Clinica da Mente made all the difference in my case. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs help with mental health matters - we are never alone when it comes to overcoming these challenges and the Mind Clinic is proof of that. (Original) A Clinica da Mente foi essencial e crucial para ajudar-me a controlar a minha anxiedade e ultrapassar momentos em que esta me punha a vida do avesso. O acompanhamento dado por todos os seus professionais é espectacular e uma grande ajuda durante todo o processo (e depois dele também). Existe um total respeito e compreensão pelas necessidades e experiências dos pacientes, e um apoio e confiança total na nossa recuperação. Não posso deixar de referir a mais-valia que é a opção das consultas online. Não só uma lufada de ar fresco para todos os pacientes durante o periodo mais negro da pandemia e respectivo confinamento, mas também algo de grande valor para quem vive fora de Portugal mas quer (ou prefere) ter acompanhamento na sua lingua materna. Falando como alguém que fez terapia numa lingua que não a sua durante anos , sinto realmente que o acompanhamento em Português feito pela Clinica da Mente fez toda a diferença no meu caso. Recomendo vivamente a qualquer pessoa que precise de ajuda no toca a assuntos de saúde mental - nunca estamos sozinhos quando se trata de ultrapassar estes desafios e a Clinica da Mente é prova disso.

Many congratulations... for the extremely friendly and professional employees! A special thank you and my deep gratitude to Dr. Raquel Moreira for her availability and attention to every detail. A Merry Christmas and a New Year with Health and Joy to the entire Clínica da Mente team

(Translated by Google) Good morning, Let me start by saying that there is no better clinic to help us when we need it most. I went to the Mind clinic to be accompanied and helped in my biggest fears and fears of life. I felt at home and with more positive energy to see the bright side of life. I thank the entire team, who do everything for their patients, but especially Dr Ângela Rodrigues and Miss Rute. I will carry in my heart all the learning and affection that they have always taken care of for me. I recommend this clinic and whenever I need it, I know I can count on you. I stayed with another family, Thank you <3 (Original) Bom dia, Começo por dizer que não existe melhor clínica para nos ajudar quando mais precisamos. Recorri à clínica da Mente para ser acompanhada e ajudada nos meus maiores medos e receios da vida. Senti-me em casa e com mais energia positiva para ver o lado bom da vida. Agradeço a toda a equipa, que tudo faz pelos seus pacientes, mas em especial à Drª Ângela Rodrigues e à menina Rute. Levarei no meu coração todas as aprendizagens e carinho que sempre tiveram o cuidado de ter por mim. Recomendo esta clínica e sempre que precisar, sei que posso contar com vocês. Fiquei com mais uma família, Obrigada <3

(Translated by Google) To the entire team at Clínica da Mente, thank you very much for having received me so well since the day I entered. A special thanks to Drª Joana Mendes who accompanied me throughout this journey tirelessly. I thank you for the care, respect and understanding with which you have always received me. Undoubtedly, I grew immensely emotionally in the most diverse aspects and I can only thank him for helping me to close the past and start living in the present, projecting the future. I also thank Dr. Rute Gomes for accompanying me in terms of well-being, always with friendliness and delicacy. (Original) A toda a equipa da Clínica da Mente, o meu muito obrigada por me terem recebido tão bem desde o dia em que entrei. Um agradecimento especial à Drª Joana Mendes que me acompanhou ao longo desta caminhada de forma incansável. Agradeço o cuidado, respeito e compreensão com que sempre me recebeu. Sem dúvida, cresci imenso a nível emocional nos mais diversos aspetos e só lhe posso agradecer por me ajudar a encerrar o passado e passar a viver o presente, projetando o futuro. Agradeço também à Drª Rute Gomes por me acompanhar ao nível do bem-estar sempre com simpatia e delicadeza.

(Translated by Google) Thank you very much to the entire team that makes up Clínica da Mente for their professionalism and friendliness. I also thank Dr. Vanessa Alves who helped me to overcome a grieving process, to understand and deal better with my emotions and thoughts. She wasn't able to do it alone. It was a process that took several months, but session after session I noticed a greater tranquility and a greater confidence in doing things that I had not wanted to do for a long time. A thank you to all! (Original) O meu muito obrigada a toda a equipa que compõe a Clínica da Mente pelo seu profissionalismo e simpatia. Agradeço também à Dra. Vanessa Alves que me ajudou a ultrapassar um processo de luto, a perceber e a lidar melhor com as minhas emoções e com os meus pensamentos. Não era capaz de o fazer sozinha. Foi um processo de vários meses, mas sessão após sessão fui notando uma maior tranquilidade e uma maior confiança ao fazer coisas que já há muito tempo não tinha vontade. Um bem haja a todos!

Tenho estado atenta aos artigos que esta clínica publica nas suas redes sociais (facebook e instagram) e só tenho a dizer que me envergonha uma clínica de psicoterapia ter profissionais tão mal informados, cujas afirmações que fazem, sobre saúde mental, perturbações, tratamentos, etc, não são mais do que conceitos (errados) do senso comum. Meu Deus!! Onde está o rigor científico?

Dr. Marta welcomed me a few years ago for the first time, I was still in my first years of college contemplating my first nervous breakdown and a dark love relationship. He always welcomed me with open arms and I always needed to go back there again even after treatment in search of some kind of direction/support/direction (I believe that these pushes help me get on with life in more turbulent times). I overcame immense obstacles that I imposed on myself (some even on others), and I grew. It was with her that I became the person I am today. Between check-ups and sporadic updates, in recent years I have been accompanied again, being in a new phase of my life (full of possibilities) but preventing me from enjoying everything by being attached to another relationship that, unfortunately, I no longer had. legs to walk. Not because of the common toxicity that is seen in some relationships, but actually because it was no longer something that could be called a loving relationship, but rather a relationship of best friends. I learned that I have to be honest with myself and free myself from what no longer makes me happy (even if that means losing or moving away from something or someone that is difficult to let go of because I've gotten used to it). I am happy and I have to thank Dr. Marta for all her care and support on this journey. I am capable of facing what awaits me from now on. If I ever need it, I know that her hug will be there to welcome me again. Thanks!

(Translated by Google) I decided to contact the Clinic of the Mind because I was too often irritated and frustrated with everything, even though I knew I was exaggerating, I couldn't control the irritation. The initial consultations helped me to get to know myself better and to visit memories/feelings that I didn't even know I had, it was a hard path because nobody wants to go back where they were not happy, but it was essential to forgive the past, understand the irritation of the present and knowing how to deal better with situations that make me uncomfortable. After the first phase I thought I was ok and then I had anxiety/panic attacks, and all because I was looking for an idyllic life and I didn't allow myself to be sad, I thought I was already resolved with the past I no longer had any reason to. Here, the follow-up and immediate availability of the entire team was essential, I finally see light at the end of the tunnel. After 7 months since the beginning of the process, I am increasingly able to accept and welcome the less happy days, I allow myself to feel them and stop to breathe and calm down. It's a path that I now know I can do alone thanks to the tools I've acquired and I know that if I ever need it again, this team will help me. Thank you to everyone, especially to Dr. Lara. (Original) Decidi contactar a Clínica da Mente porque me sentia demasiadas vezes irritada e frustrada com tudo, mesmo que soubesse que estava a exagerar, não conseguia controlar a irritação. As consultas iniciais ajudaram-me a conhecer-me melhor e a visitar memórias/sentimentos que nem sabia que tinha, foi um caminho duro porque ninguém quer voltar onde não foi feliz, mas foi essencial para desculpar o passado, compreender a irritação do presente e saber lidar melhor com as situações que me deixam desconfortáveis. Depois da primeira fase achava que já estava ok e eis que tive ataques de ansiedade/pânico, e tudo porque procurava uma vida idílica e não me permitia estar triste, achava que já estava resolvida com o passado já não tinha razões para isso. Aqui o acompanhamento e a disponibilidade imediata de toda a equipa foi essencial, finalmente vejo luz no fim do túnel. Passados 7 meses desde o inicio do processo sou cada vez mais capaz de aceitar e acolher os dias menos felizes, permito-me senti-los e parar para respirar e acalmar. É um caminho que agora sei que sou capaz de o fazer sozinha graças às ferramentas adquiridas e sei que se voltar a precisar esta equipa me irá ajudar. Obrigada a todos em especial à Dra. Lara.

(Translated by Google) I had too many anxiety and panic problems, I resorted to psychiatry and antidepressants and it didn't work, I stop by to leave my testimony and I can say that I have my treatment completed, I'm not "cured" yet but I can manage my life normal, something I couldn't even do from home about half a year ago, I have to thank the whole team and especially Dr. Marta for everything she has done for me, the help outside the consultations, I highly recommend it. (Original) Tive demasiados problemas de ansiedade e pânico, recorri a psiquiatria e a antidepressivos e de pouco resultou, passo por aqui para deixar o meu testemunho e posso dizer que tenho o meu tratamento concluído, ainda não estou "curado" mas já consigo fazer a minha vida dita normal, coisa que há cerca de meio ano nem de casa o conseguia fazer, tenho que agradecer á equipa toda e especialmente a Dra. Marta por tudo que tem feito por mim, o auxílio por fora das consultas, recomendo vivamente.

I had seen a poster for the mind clinic a while ago. I visited the website several times, but my mind told me that I would be able to resolve this on my own, and I never had the courage to make an appointment, I was scared of having to talk to a stranger, and not being understood. Today I only regret not having done it sooner. I was accompanied by Dr Marta, and I loved it!! Thank you for everything 😊

I would like to express my gratitude to Clínica da Mente for helping me at a very important stage. Since joining the clinic, I have always been well received by excellent and dedicated professionals. I would also like to give special thanks to Dr. Marta who guided me. She is a remarkable professional who has helped me forever. I cannot fail to mention the assistant Rute, who accompanied me throughout the entire process at the clinic, always in an attentive manner. Furthermore, the clinic environment is very good and welcoming. I am happy to have chosen this Clinic and I recommend it to anyone who is experiencing any difficulties. They will definitely help!

(Translated by Google) Contacting Clínica da Mente was one of the best decisions for my emotional well-being. Accompanying me in an excessive period of stress, frustration and indecision and they were fundamental to overcome these less good moments. I learned a lot about myself, I grew up and now I feel able to cross barriers that were insurmountable before receiving your help. Thank you to the entire team at Clínica da Mente. A special thanks to Dr Joana for all the help during this journey. I also thank Drª Rute for her sympathy and follow-up during these months.

Incrível, literalmente salvou -me a vida e mostrou me o futuro diante de mim!!! Para quem tem crises de pânico, ataques de ansiedade e até desrealização e despersoliação! Recomendo imenso!!!

A thank you is not enough to recognize the work that Dr. Ângela Rodrigues and my Wellbeing Assistant Rute Gomes did with me. From the first consultation, they were always available and showing confidence. I entered the mind clinic with a long list of medication and a suggestion of psychiatric hospitalization, none of which made them give up. Dr. Ângela says it was a team effort, I agree, but none of this would be possible if she hadn't shown me the trust and security she gave me. Thank you for helping me to see the world in color again and to live life WITHOUT FEAR AND PANIC. There is my welfare assistant Rute Gomes, Thank you for all the follow-up, all the calls, all the conversations and all the support. Sometimes you just need to hear a comforting voice to convey security, thank you for being there. If anyone is reading this comment, I leave you this message "Don't be afraid to speak up or ask for help, it's okay". Ana Costa.

Hello! If I can help someone with depression, I want to leave my testimony. I went to the mind clinic because I have been taking medication for depression for 30 years. This clinic helped me a lot with the quality of my mental health. I took medication from the psychiatrist and simultaneously, I had 12 psychotherapy sessions. I'm already on very low medication. I feel happier, at peace and with higher self-esteem. I recommend the mind clinic if you need help! Don't wait any longer! ... The excellent professionals at this clinic will help you find the answer, namely payment methods (phased payment plan).

Mind Clinic A good instrument to live happily. I lived with the stigma that I was a depressed person as I had some anxiety attacks, fear of making mistakes, etc. I went to the Mind Clinic to find out if the symptoms I had were actually depression. From the beginning I found a fantastic team that welcomed me so well that I ended up feeling at home. The consultations were a moment of interiorization, of letting go of all the noise and entering the deepest part of my being. Fantastic. Little by little, with the help of my therapist Vanessa, who became a friend to me, I was able to realize that I was not a depressed person. It seemed like divine harmony, and during the treatment I had a crisis. I stayed in bed and didn't want to go to the appointments, but they were always there. I say them because Rute and Doctor Vanessa never stopped encouraging me to get up and go to appointments. They were always there. A simple phone call made a difference. At the end of the treatment they told me that I did not have any symptoms of depression but rather anxiety. Thank you Clínica da Mente for the joy I felt and feel about the diagnosis. Today I am happier and freed from my fears and anxiety. Today I'm happy. Today I know how to see that what comes from the outside cannot hurt me, if I feel good on the inside. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Fernanda Martins

The Mind Clinic is the most complete mental institution that I have ever seen, and I have several types to compare it to! It is complete on all levels, understanding, dedication, availability among other things. I decided to look for the clinic because I got to the point where I couldn't control my feelings or even demystify them or understand them! With Dr.Joana's help, everything was possible. I started having consecutive panic attacks and as soon as I arrived at the clinic we started working on it and lo and behold, I managed to make noticeable improvements, not only at that level but also! This experience was good and very important for me as I was able to feel better about myself! It was without a doubt what I wanted most! I can't say I'm 100% but I walk there or try every day!! I want to thank all the professionals present and in particular Dr.Joana and Rute who were impressive in my process! A kiss the size of the world to everyone and I wish the best to the entire Clinica da Mente team! Life doesn't always bring us the best, however, it's up to us to do the best for ourselves. So, whenever you need help, ask! We all need help at a certain point in life. Therapy won't hurt anyone, on the contrary. And never forget, psychologists and psychiatry are not for crazy people! Please end this stigma! I'm absolutely sure that if we all went to therapy there would be fewer emotional problems! Strength to everyone who is walking towards having a quality life and a happy life. To everyone else, I hope you can seek help whenever you need it! A kiss to everyone from the bottom of my heart ❤️

My journey at the mind clinic was undoubtedly very positive. At first I thought it would be just another attempt to improve (something I had been trying for a while), but I thought I wouldn't be able to recover my usual essence. Throughout the sessions I realized that I finally started to feel better, that it is normal to have ups and downs, and that above all, professionals prepare us to deal with these everyday situations in an intelligent way. An experience that undoubtedly helped me a lot to be who I am today. I am very grateful to my therapist, and the entire team who also always supported me with the best friendliness.
